NEW MSEP and Nightastic vids by Jud

[ejud]

Two of the changes for Summer Nightastic were premiered for Annual Passholders Saturday night, June 5th. These were the newly returned and refurbished Main Street Electrical Parade, and a new evening pyrotechnics show called Nightastic

I was there and shot vid, but both are a one shot deal, so not exactly the greatest, but quite watchable. I am actually quite pleased with how MSEP came out. But must also add that that music has gone way past anything Small World ever imagined!

Due to time duration restrictions on YouTube, I had to split both of these into two parts.

No more Wishes?

No more Wishes?

Actually, I don't know. This is a limited time summer run, so maybe back to Wishes after? Frankly, I think this is a better show than Wishes.

PS: I love Wishes!

You Tube might disable the sound track at any given time, I am disputing, but know that. So don't wait around! Feel free to share this with anyone, or repost on any blog etc.

The video in the first 3 minutes after crossing the test bridge- I didn't know the camera was on, but used some of it anyway...

Awesome video! I have to ask though, what the HECK is in that tree? It almost looks like a duiker

I assume you mean the tree at the beginning of the hike, at the end of Harambe? She did talk bit about it, but I didn't catch it, but did catch enough to know to get the shot!

Will be there Saturday for the AP event and will inquire!

Yep right at 9:41 and 9:44...very strange.

I returned to Harambe to uncover the facts about this mysterious tree that many have noted. The reason I took the picture in the first place was because our guide had stopped to speak about it, but I missed what she said.

It is a Kigelia Africanius, or African Sausage Tree. Hippos (I think it was hippos?) love the fruit, which is the hanging stuff. It is not agreeable to humans as food, but can be brewed into an 'adult beverage'.

I will also note that directly across the street from it is a 'baby' baobob' tree, a real one, for as some may know, the huge old ones out on the savanna are fakes, concrete replica's, as the real ones simply would not survive in Florida despite several attempts.

I also learned today on the regular safari (guess I wasn't paying attention before) that the purpose of the huge trunk on the baobob tree is to store all the water it will need for the year in the three months that it is available.

Oh! Apparently I misunderstood! Sorry bout that chief! Would you believe dinner? The big cats will take a kill up in the trees sometimes to eat in peace...
